breastfeeding

Big Fun!
Crazy things! We’ve done them lately! We even had a little fun doing it!
Used our anniversary dinner money to let the kids ride carnival rides at the 4th of July park celebration. My husband did this. But really why get out more cash? I hope we don’t forget at some point to go to […]

Here’s the 411– on what it’s like to have 4 kids- the Leap Edition.
I was up at 4 am to pack my husband breakfast and lunch. I lazily sat and browsed through my email and drank coffee until everyone woke up. It was a busy weekend. Well, I mean I switched laundry out, washed new […]

Our babysitter dropped by the other day, long story, but during her brief visit the kids clamored for her attention. At one point, I was nearly on the floor laughing as my 4 year old was out of sight upstairs, but clearly pretending to be in distress saying ‘where’s my breastmilk’… at which point I […]

It’s hard, it really is, to give everyone what they need. Every time you try and take care of one, 2 of the others lose their minds. I kid you not, it’s insane. But we love it. We put up the little kid’s ‘Little People’ Nativity Scene and they’ve been playing with that today.

Post-pregnancy is the only time you can get on the scale a day later, having lost 12 lbs. and not think ‘ what the hell happened’… Just shy of 20 lbs on (thanks for the cobbler and cookies mom), and 17 lbs. back off in under a week… on the other […]

Already we’re tired of the hospital and ready to go home! We’re so happy that baby stayed in blankets only until she was bathed and put in a cloth diaper, and has been in our care from birth. No NICU, no extra care, yes!!! Our big surprise was how tiny she was compared to her […]

Casey was my pro nurser from the very first hour of her birth. Other than occasionally trying out a new tooth, we never had any issues. Unless you count attempting to nurse nearly standing on my lap- superman style. When she was about 15 months I was blessed with a pregnancy. We had wanted to […]

I don’t have specific stats, but I do know that she’s at 50% in weight, 75% in head circumference, and 90% in height. She’s tall and skinny, but definitely solid. She did not cooperate with being held by anyone else, which was hysterical but made getting her weighed pretty difficult. I posted a bunch of […]

We visited family on the fourth and watched fireworks on the 5th. The kids got their face painted while I worked the library friends booth and chatted. The kids and Matt hung around with some of our friends (and babysitter) until I was done helping. The fireworks were fun and Casey was completely nonplussed. The […]
